The question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, whether she plans to establish a joint committee of both Houses to scrutinise the draft Bill on conversion practices.

Answered by Dame Nia Griffith

This Government’s position is that conversion practices are abuse.

We remain committed to bringing forward legislation that protects LGBT+ individuals from these harmful practices, starting with publishing our draft Bill later this session for pre-legislative scrutiny.
